SO LET ME SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT

 
POINT 2017-04-07 14:19:58 

Trump ; the Senate & the House of Representatives ALL are Members of the Republican Party .

This means that Trump is
empowered to go after Asad ,
due to the fact that the Republicans control the Presidency & Congress .

Now that was not the case with President Obama when
Syria released poisoned gas
on its Citizens .

While Obama , a member of the Democratic Party , if he
had taken action against Syria on his own , the Republicans would have left
him out on a limb .

President Obama recognized
this fact , he therefore asked
Congress to give him the authority to take action against Syria .

THE REPUBLICANS IN

CONGRESS REFUSED TO

SUPPORT PRESIDENT

OBAMA'S REQUEST .

Now this could have possibly
mean that had Obama taken
military action against Syria
the Republicans would have
jumped at the chance to impeach President Obama

As a result President Obama
backed off . In essence , any
President of the USA , when
Congress belongs to the same Party as the President
He / She is empowered to
act swiftly on Global Matters.

It aint eally about who is the
President , it is about whether
the President & the majority
of Persons in Congress belong to the same Political
Party .

For last 6 years of President
Obama terms in office Congress was controlled by
the REpublican party .

Therefore any suggestions that
President Obama should have bombed Syria need to consider the
above Facts before spouting Feces .

Wrong - if Obama had gone in he would have been impeached.

He was threatened with impeachment

In reply to Chrissy

I was and am fully aware of what you stated , which is precisely why
he did not attack Syria .

Make absolutely no mistake , the
very fact that President Obama is
an African American was also a factor in the Republicans not wanting him to succeed .

As I have stated elsewhere , Obama
tried to reach out to the Republicans but they bluntly refused to accept his invitations .

Look I have seen and listened to
the State of the Union Speeches from Lyndon Baines Johnson to the
present .

Durig that time I have never heard
a member of Congress jump up and
shouted " YOU LIE " , during those State of the Union Addresses before
Barack Obama became the President .

Donald J Trump's behaviour regarding his perpetual campaign
stating that Obama was born in Africa . He doubted that Obama was the Editor of the Harvard Law Review .

However Obama is currently in Tahitii , writing his Memoirs , I have no doubt that it will be a BlockBuster .
